DJ Newman drew a walk and scored with Leighton Banjoff smacking a single in the fifth inning, upping the score to 5-1.
Two runs came across in the sixth inning as Takats and Nathan Archer crossed home plate to improve the lead to 7-1.
In the seventh inning, Ganun singled and brought a runner to base. Shortly afterwards, Archer hit a ground rule double, which scored Ganun and brought the score to 9-1.
To finish the game, Zach Horky drew a walk, which led Caden Parker to pinch run for both of them. Three more runs came across, and BG ended the day winning 12-1.
